1.64 mi of non-freeway sign upgrades on Stadium Drive (Old I-94BL) from US-131 to Rambling Road, Kalamazoo County. 0% DBE PARTICIPATION REQUIRED Net classification required for this project is 50 N6 Control Sec Job No Federal No STG 39041 202651A 25A0355 Completion Date: 8/28/2026 MIDOT - 2503 042 - Non-Freeway Sign Upgrades on Stadium Drive (Old I-94BL) This special provision sets out the requirements for all fine aggregate used in Portland cement concrete (PCC) mixtures to be tested by an independent testing laboratory and determined to be resistant to the potential for deleterious expansion caused by alkali-silica reactivity (ASR). ASR testing is not required for concrete pavement repairs, temporary concrete pavements, and other items covered by the contract. Except as explicitly modified by this special provision, all materials, test methods, and PCC mixture requirements of the standard specifications and the contract apply. The Contractor must administer QC and the Department will administer QA procedures that will be used for acceptance of and payment for all Portland cement concrete (PCC) for the project. Except as explicitly modified by this special provision, all materials, test methods, and PCC mixture requirements of the standard specifications and the contract apply. Non-critical concrete placements as specified in this special provision or otherwise approved by the Engineer are eligible for reduced testing. All other QC and QA requirements for the project apply. This special provision establishes pay factor and price adjustments for Portland cement concrete based on Department administered Quality Assurance (QA) testing of 28-day compressive strength and fresh concrete air content of Portland cement concrete (PCC). Perform all work in accordance with the standard specifications and this special provision. Percent-within-limits (PWL) analysis for payment adjustments apply for mainline, shoulder, miscellaneous concrete pavement (including ramps), and concrete pavement overlay applications. Non-PWL analysis for payment adjustments apply for all other applications. This work consists of complying with the Department's construction management processes. The Department will manage this contract using the AASHTOWare Project Construction Materials (APCM) software. Ensure all change orders are approved using APCM. No paper documents, faxes, or other methods/media are permitted for change order approvals except as allowed by this special provision or specifically approved by the Engineer. This special provision establishes the requirements for dissemination of any public relations communications and/or products intended for an external audience pertaining to this contract.

A value engineering change proposal (VECP) modifying plans, specifications, or other contract requirements may be submitted for this project if the proposed change results in reduced construction cost, a higher quality product, improved safety, or a shorter contract time. The estimated cost savings must be quantifiable in relation to the contract cost. No work can begin before written authorization. The proposed change must not alter the essential functions or characteristics of the project or significantly delay the completion of the project. A VECP or conceptual VECP will only be considered after project award. Essential functions and characteristics include, but are not limited to, service life, operating costs, ease of maintenance, desired appearance, impact on utilities and right-of-way, mobility and safety of the motorist, bicyclist and pedestrian; safety of all onsite workers (construction, inspection, testing, etc.) in the progress of the work, design standards, and safety standards. This special provision does not restrict the Contractor from proposing improvements to the project that may not result in net cost savings. A conceptual VECP stating the basic concept and approximate cost savings may be submitted for preliminary consideration. . This work consists of meeting MDOT's construction document management (CDM) system requirements. Submit all project documentation for this contract in electronic format and place it in MDOT's CDM system, unless otherwise noted in this special provision. No paper documents, in printed format (faxes, letters, etc.) are permitted except as allowed by this special provision or specifically approved by the Engineer. The Contractor is responsible for keeping all information in the CDM system up to date throughout the execution of the contract. E-Verify is an Internet-based system that allows an employer, using information reported on an employee's Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to determine the eligibility of that employee to work in the United States. There is no charge to employers to use E-Verify. The E-Verify system is operated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration. E-Verify is available in Spanish. The State of Michigan is requiring all Contractors, and Subcontractors, to verify that new employees are legally present and authorized to work in the United States, using the E-Verify System. Information on registration for and use of the E-Verify program can be obtained via the Internet at the DHS Web site: http://www.dhs.gov/E-Verify. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to include this specification in all tiers of subcontracts. The required use of the E-Verify system will not be paid for separately as part of the contract but is considered included in the costs for other pay items in the contract. This work consists of removing, salvaging, and storing signs of the type required at locations as shown on the plans. Complete this work in accordance with this special provision, the plans, sections 810 and 919 of the Standard Specifications for Construction, and as directed by the Engineer. This work consists of removing each ground mounted sign support including but not limited to steel posts, wood posts and breakaway sign supports per section 810.03 Standard Specifications for Construction. Complete this work in accordance with this special provision, the plans, sections 810 and 919 of the Standard Specifications for Construction, and as directed by the Engineer For this project, regardless of the application, the use of industrial byproducts covered in 2014 PA 178 is prohibited unless the use and application of a particular material is covered elsewhere in the contract. The Contractor may substitute Type IL Portland cement in lieu of Type I Portland cement for concrete mixtures and other applications where Type I Portland cement is specified, provided documentation showing specification compliance is provided as described herein. The Contractor must provide the Engineer a minimum of 14 calendar days prior notification of their intent to substitute Type IL Portland cement in lieu of Type I Portland cement for the project.
